A hint of nostalgia appeared in the uncle's eyes. Among that group of serious offenders, his sentence was the most severe, and everyone knew he would never get out.
At first, everyone treated this place as a place to retire in harmony. Later, the person above him became unhappy, so he was targeted until Song Zhen appeared, at which point he left.
Eighteen years have passed in a daze.
Lu Yuanhong pinched the bridge of his nose. Now that only he and the uncle were left in the kitchen, he simply waved his hand to seal off the space.
"I heard from my grandfather that many secrets are buried here on Criminal Star. Do you know anything about it, Uncle?"
The uncle stopped what he was doing and said that Lu Yuanhong's gaze towards him was strange today, and that he had specifically asked him to make seafood porridge.
"Is it that Miss Lan wants seafood porridge?"
"Yes and no, it's up to you, Uncle."
Lu Yuanhong remained ambiguous, staring intently at the other party. He did not use his mental power directly because he knew that the other party had once been the steward by the Empress's side, and was quite vigilant and capable.
More importantly, the girl trusts him, and he doesn't want the other party to actually break that trust.
The man sighed softly and washed the blood off his hands with water.
“Your grandfather is right. Everyone has secrets, especially someone like me who is a serious criminal and cannot be killed directly. I am involved with the interests of powerful families to some extent.”
She glanced at Lu Yuanhong and asked, "Are you sure you want to know?"
The uncle smiled.
"Perhaps the empire you uphold is dirtier than you imagine?"
Lu Yuanhong lowered his eyes, his whole demeanor as calm as the snow at the very tip of a high mountain.
Everyone regarded him as untainted by the mud, as the empire's war god, and as the embodiment of justice.
How do you know I don't know it's dirty?
"That's right, then I'll tell you."
He remembered that there were about twenty-five serious offenders in that group, including himself.
At that time, the gravity facilities here were not yet fully completed. There were a total of 25 people, and none of them asked each other why they had ended up here.
They treated it like a retirement vacation, having a great time, gossiping about noble families and the empire in a harmless way, and incidentally criticizing the upper echelons.
However, they are criminals after all. They are tested day by day at the deepest part of the planet's gravity to see the limits of their abilities and tolerance. This is the most realistic data, since criminals have no human rights.
When the gravity reached level five, two of them couldn't withstand it anymore, and their thighs were crushed into a pulp.
Only then did they realize that they had been naive; it wasn't that they couldn't die, but that they didn't want them to die so easily.
Those two probably knew they were about to die. Perhaps they were unwilling to accept it, or perhaps they wanted to leave something behind. That night, in a place away from surveillance, they revealed why they were serious criminals.
Because he had spied on a family's secrets and blown up a laboratory, he saved the test subjects inside. Although they were all evil people, they couldn't survive either. But it was the first time he had ever seen such a disgusting place. The blood had congealed into a thick wall, and he didn't know how many people had died.
The man paused for a moment, then looked at Lu Yuanhong, "Do you know which family it is?"
"You probably don't know, but the little girl next to you does. When you found her, weren't you curious about why she, a girl, had such high mental strength?"
"Also, why did she name herself Qiu Bai?"
The uncle's words gave Lu Yuanhong a jolt, and goosebumps rose on his back.
"you……"
